ColorBurst Overdrive RIP Server, 24in, Mac version

Features

Overdrive is a PostScript RIP that uses new advances in color management and printing technology to deliver high-end color, accurate proofing and Pantone matching for any inkjet printer. Support for any paper is immediately available due to the universal nature of Overdrive's color management.

Accurate CYMK proofing — no CMYK media profiles necessary!

• Automatically print an IDEAlliance color bar with each job for easy proof verification using your X-Rite device
• Internal testing shows Overdrive 2 consistently achieves a Delta E(ab) average of 0.8 or lower from an IT8.7/4 target on Epson and Canon printers, well within industry standards of 1.5 maximum average

Overdrive Layout included
• Overdrive Layout is included as a separate application at no additional cost with all Overdrive licenses
• Use Overdrive Layout to nest, crop, rotate, or step and repeat images with crop marks, colored borders, and image annotations
• Refit images in a layout based on "better fit" or "fewer cuts"
• Files are processed through Overdrive first for color management
• Overdrive includes a "Render to Layout" queue that can be printed to from any application, or drop files into a hot folder for automated file processing
• Overdrive Layout includes a 15-day demo to try with Overdrive

Input ICC Profiles
• Overdrive has separate Input ICC Profile settings for RGB, CMYK, and grayscale images

• An option to use embedded profiles can be turned on or off

Output ICC Profiles
• Overdrive uses RGB output profiles
• Overdrive can use any paper manufacturer's RGB ICC profiles
